Irony can be understood in three forms: dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something a character does not; situational irony is when something happens opposite of expectations; and verbal irony is when a person says one thing but means something else, such as with sarcasm.

Film Studies Homework
Genre is an important concept in film studies. Genres are vague categories that films can belong to or cross between based on conventions. The Western genre is closely tied to the origins of cinema itself. Genre creates expectations in audiences and conditions their responses. It allows audiences to understand what type of film they are watching and compare it to other genres. Horror films can be identified by feelings of anticipation, settings, music, camera work and how the plot evolves over time. They appeal to audiences by letting them escape real life fears and anxieties by projecting them onto the characters in the film.
Qualitative Research
The document discusses the evolution of different styles and genres in horror films over time, from their origins in German Expressionism to modern slasher films. It traces how techniques like expressionist lighting and set design influenced later styles like film noir and gothic horror. Additionally, it notes how modern horror films have become more gory and controversial by explicitly showing violence, in contrast to earlier eras where more was left to the viewer's imagination.
Elements of fiction
The document discusses key elements of short stories, including their typical structure based on Aristotle's Poetics. It notes that short stories are meant to be read in one sitting, focus on one main incident, and have fewer characters than novels. The typical short story structure includes an exposition, inciting incident, rising action, climax, and denouement. It also discusses important elements like character types, themes, and narrative point of view.
Slasher stock classes
The theory of Propp identifies common stock characters that help tell the basic structure of slasher films. These characters include the Final Girl who survives, the Killer/Monster as the main character, and a group of friends including a sexually active girl. Propp's theory suggests these characters and their roles are conventions that define the slasher film genre.
Representation
The document discusses using conventional characters in a horror film. It suggests having a stereotypical vulnerable female protagonist that viewers can sympathize with, as well as a stereotypical male antagonist that viewers can immediately dislike, portrayed as a psycho incapable of love. These character stereotypes are meant to provide familiarity and engage the audience's emotions.
ENIGMA final draft
This document discusses enigmas used in the opening sequences of films. It provides examples from the films Sinister, Paranormal Activity, and American Horror Story. The document then outlines the enigmas that will be used in the authors' opening sequence: why the two girls are lost in a graveyard, why one girl does not want to enter the graveyard, who the point-of-view shots and shadows belong to, and why one girl's eyes are red and possessed at the end. It explains that these enigmas will intrigue audiences and fit with the supernatural horror genre by leaving open questions for the rest of the film.

Investigating narrative
This document discusses different aspects and definitions of narrative structure in film. It begins by defining narrative as "a chain of events in a cause-effect relationship occurring in time." It then examines various components of narrative including plot, story, time manipulation techniques like montage, points of view, and narrative devices. The document also analyzes common narrative structures like the three-act structure described by Syd Field involving a set up, confrontation, and resolution. It further discusses Tzvetan Todrov's five stages of narrative and different types of modular narratives identified by Allan Cameron.
Genre Research
This document discusses genre research and paradigms in film. It defines genre as a typical example or pattern of something, and iconography as the visual images and symbols used in a work of art. Specific genres like westerns, James Bond films, romantic comedies, thrillers, horror, and sci-fi films are described as having expected elements that indicate their genre through mise-en-scene and iconography. Genre conventions can become limiting if they are too rigid, but paradigms can be revived by subverting expectations as in Brokeback Mountain for westerns and Moulin Rouge for love stories/musicals.
Pitch
A young girl named Lisa finds a mysterious box containing a picture and necklace belonging to another girl named Cassandra. Cassandra's spirit begins haunting Lisa, becoming obsessed with her. The trailer will end with Lisa's sister seeing Cassandra's spirit for the first time. The author proposes a 1 minute horror/demonic genre trailer for teenagers 15+ that uses suspense, mystery and frightening music to generate curiosity without revealing the full story.
Media theories
The document discusses several media theories:
- Structuralism states that culture can be understood through systems of signs and meanings are formulated within a culture.
- Post-structuralism critiques structuralism and argues there is no inherent structure in texts.
- Modernism moves away from structure and embraces discontinuity and disruption of conventions.
- Postmodernism knowingly plays with and subverts conventions through techniques like bricolage.
- Psychoanalytic theories like the male gaze and identifying with the final girl character were applied to horror genres.
Section a narrative theories
Narrative theory analyzes how media texts communicate meaning through stories. A narrative is defined as a chain of events with a beginning, middle, and end that follows a cause-and-effect relationship. Narrative theorists like Branigan and Propp analyzed how narratives embody ideologies and include character archetypes. Barthes identified five codes that help readers make sense of narratives, including action, referential, symbolic, and enigma codes. Levi-Strauss examined how stories reflect a culture's values through binary oppositions. Postmodern narratives are characterized by nonlinearity, self-reflexivity, and pastiche.
Film opening: location, costumes and props 4
The document discusses locations, costumes, and props for a film opening. The location would be Whitestone Pond at Hampstead Heath in London. Shots of the protagonist's home would include a news report, torn articles on the wall, a journal, maps with pins, weapons, gloves, and tape. For costumes, the main character's clothing in the woods scene includes muddy boots, black trousers, and a white t-shirt with messy hair. In the next scene, he wears black jeans, a black jacket, and tidier slicked back hair. Props include a tattoo to identify the character, a hammer as the main weapon, and fake blood to show he has killed someone.
Silence pitch
This document provides initial thoughts for a film that combines drama and action genres about two strangers who are taken hostage in a professional building. They must communicate non-verbally and work together to escape, though one is eventually captured. The film aims to show character interaction and representations of race through non-verbal communication between the protagonists, and provoke thought by placing the audience inside their perspectives.
Genre 2
This document discusses various film genres including horror, thriller, action, comedy, romance, sci-fi, western, and war. It explains that some films can be genre hybrids that combine elements of multiple genres, providing examples that Terminator 2 is both an action and science fiction film while Back to the Future 3 incorporates comedy, science fiction, western, and romance genres. The document also defines some key aspects of different genres like romance films focusing on love stories and horror aiming to provoke negative emotions in viewers.

The document then examines various elements that comprise narrative, including story, plot, time manipulation through montage, point of view, and narration. It explores theories of narrative structure from Syd Field, who proposed the three-act system of setup, confrontation, and resolution, and Tzvetan Todrov, who described a five-stage model of equilibrium, disequilibrium, recognition, attempt to repair, and reinstatement of equilibrium. Finally, it categorizes different types of modular narrative as anachronic, forking paths, episodic, and split
Genre, narrative, representation and audience
This document discusses various theories related to genre, narrative, representation, and audience in the context of horror films. It defines genre and provides examples of common conventions in the horror genre, such as violent themes, spooky settings, and dark colors. Narrative theories discussed include Propp's character archetypes and Carroll's sub-types of horror narratives. In terms of representation, Mulvey's male gaze theory is described. Finally, theories on horror film audiences include Freud's theory of the uncanny, Mulvey's theory of sadistic voyeurism, and the snuggle theory regarding gender roles.
Costume research
The document discusses costume options for portraying female teenagers in a British social realism film. It eliminates a middle-class woman's style as not suitable for the 17-19 year old characters. Tracksuits are identified as fitting the genre because they stereotypically represent teenagers, council housing, and cheap clothing. The group chooses to follow these stereotypes to effectively set the scene of the film's opening, likely having the female character wear tracksuits while running.
Media theories
Structuralism posits that genres have established codes and conventions that shape audience understanding. For example, horror conventions include isolated, dark locations and weapons. Barthes developed theories of how audiences derive pleasure from narratives despite knowing outcomes. Todorov's theory is that narratives follow a pattern of equilibrium, disequilibrium caused by an opposing force, and restored equilibrium. Propp identified eight common character types like villains, donors, and heroes. Clover's "Final Girl" theory described the common horror movie trope of a virginal female survivor. Freud's theories involved audience identification with masochistic victims rather than sadistic killers.
Postmodernism in scream
This document provides an analysis of the 1996 film Scream and how it exemplifies postmodern characteristics. It discusses how Scream acknowledges and references conventions of the horror genre while also subverting expectations. The film includes self-aware characters and parodies cliches through humor. It also heavily relies on intertextuality, featuring numerous references to other horror films like Halloween and Psycho. Overall, the document examines how Scream uses metafictional elements like parody and intertextuality to both engage with and challenge typical horror genre conventions from a postmodern perspective.
Investigating narrative
Narrative is a chain of causally linked events that occurs over time, and it is found in many forms of entertainment like literature, film, and music. In film specifically, narrative relies on techniques like editing, cinematography, and sound to manipulate time and convey meaning. It is structured around key concepts like plot, character, and point of view. Common narrative structures in film include the three-act structure and Tzvetan Todorov's five stages of equilibrium, disequilibrium, new equilibrium. Modern films also employ modular narratives that manipulate time in nonlinear ways through techniques like flashbacks, parallel timelines, and split screens. Narrative is crucial for films because it allows audiences to understand and engage with story
Theories -media movies
Roland Barthes believed that the structure of films allows for ambiguity and different interpretations by audiences. He described five narrative codes that shape a film's plot and meaning: action, enigma, semantic, symbolic, and cultural. Vladimir Propp analyzed character archetypes and identified eight common roles that appear in stories: hero, villain, false hero, helper, donor, princess, father, and dispatcher. Tzvetan Todorov's theory proposed that all narratives follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repair, and new equilibrium. Claude Levi-Strauss analyzed the use of binary opposites to drive conflict and progression in stories.

This document defines and provides examples of different types of intertextuality:
1. Obligatory intertextuality occurs when a writer deliberately compares or associates two or more texts, requiring the reader to be familiar with how a scene has been previously contextualized.
2. Optional intertextuality aims to pay homage to original writers or reward readers familiar with source texts.
3. Accidental intertextuality happens when readers connect a text to another text, experience, or culture without direct references, according to scholar John Fitzsimmons.
The document then provides the Abbey Road album cover and Matrix movie as further examples of intertextuality in different media before concluding with a reminder about using free time for
Narrative structure
There are several types of narrative structures:
- Open narratives never come to a conclusion, like soap operas, while closed narratives have a definite ending, like films.
- Single strand narratives focus on one storyline, as in children's books, while multi-strand narratives have multiple concurrent plots, as seen in soap operas.
- Linear narratives progress chronologically from beginning to end, as in books and films, while non-linear narratives use techniques like flashbacks and flashforwards, like in Pulp Fiction.
- Components of narratives include an opening to engage readers/viewers, conflicts that drive the story, and a resolution at the end.
Representation and genre
This document discusses concepts related to genre and representation in film. It begins by stating that macro-level features like genre require investigating films as a whole and in their social context. Genre is defined as a kind or category of film based on iconography, conventions, and audience expectations. The document then examines theories and criticisms of genre from scholars like Edward Buscombe, Steve Neale, Robert Stam, David Bordwell, and David Buckingham. It questions whether genre is a useful concept and how film trailers employ genre to promote movies.
Theory of Novel
The document defines the novel and discusses its key characteristics and elements. It begins by defining a novel as a lengthy prose narrative driven by character actions and thoughts. It then discusses some key aspects of novels like having a believable plot, well-defined characters, and a sense of realism. The document also outlines different genres of novels like mysteries, science fiction, fantasy, westerns, horror, thrillers, romance, and historical fiction. It concludes by detailing important elements that make up novels, such as plot, characters, setting, point of view, dialogue, conflict, and resolution.
Irony
Irony refers to situations, statements, or circumstances that are not what they seem. There are three main types of irony:
1) Situational irony occurs when the outcome of a situation is different than what was expected, such as in Romeo and Juliet where the lovers die believing the other is dead.
2) Verbal irony, also called sarcasm, uses words to express something different than their literal meaning, like when Mark Antony insults Brutus despite calling him honorable.
3) Dramatic irony exists when the audience knows something a character does not, such as in Macbeth when the audience is aware of Macbeth's murderous plans unknown to Duncan.
The ransom of red chief
The document provides biographical information about O. Henry and summarizes his short story "The Ransom of Red Chief". It describes the plot which involves two desperate kidnappers who abduct the son of a wealthy man, but struggle to handle the energetic 10-year-old boy. It outlines the key story elements of exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Additionally, it discusses the main characters of Sam, Bill, Red Chief, and Ebenezer Dorset. The document analyzes the short story's structure and relationship between literary criticism and history.
Irony PowerPoint
There are three main types of irony: verbal, situational, and dramatic. Verbal irony occurs when what is said differs from its intended meaning. Situational irony is when an event has an unexpected or opposite outcome. Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something that characters in a story do not. Examples from the Twilight series demonstrate each type, such as a character's age or intentions being different than their words imply.

Examples are given for each type of irony to illustrate these concepts.
Irony Activity
The document defines and provides examples of different types of irony:
- Situational irony occurs when something happens that is unexpected or contrary to what is typical (e.g. a fire station burning down).
- Dramatic irony involves the audience knowing something that characters in a story do not (e.g. knowing a boogeyman is hiding while the character does not).
- Verbal irony involves saying something that means the opposite of the literal words (e.g. saying a date is "dressed up" when they are not).
The document then provides examples of situations and quotes that demonstrate situational, dramatic, or verbal irony.
Subverting Materialism - Ignite
This is a collection of images I put together for a recent Ignite presentation on Subvertising and Radical Advertising. It chronicled our defensive reactions toward the incessant din of advertising and how artists attempt to take back the media and attribute humanist content. It's not anti-capitalist, it's anti-materialist.
Irony
This document provides an overview of irony and discusses its various forms and examples throughout literature. It begins by defining irony as speech where the intended meaning differs from the literal meaning. It then explores the history of irony in works like Chaucer's and Shakespeare's, as well as Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal." The document also distinguishes between different types of irony like dramatic, situational, and tragic irony. It analyzes irony in children's stories, signs, jokes and provides many literary and real-life examples to illustrate ironic concepts and situations. In the end, it emphasizes that recognizing and appreciating irony allows for insights into human paradoxes and realities.
Irony Review
The document discusses three types of irony: verbal, situational, and dramatic. Verbal irony involves saying something that means the opposite of what is said. Situational irony involves events turning out opposite of what is expected. Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows more about a situation than the characters. The document then provides examples of situations and asks the reader to identify whether each one is verbal, situational, or dramatic irony.

What is Irony?
The document defines and provides examples of different types of irony. It explains that irony is when what actually happens differs from what is expected, and identifies three main types: verbal irony involves saying one thing but meaning another, situational irony occurs when a situation turns out opposite of expectations, and dramatic irony exists when the audience knows something characters do not.
Postmodern Advertising

Types of Irony
